Mineral, slightly fizzy, lots of green apple and pear — 7 years ago
Too funky for sipping, but pairs very well with shellfish, brine & butter. Mineral, grass & straw. Complex. — 8 years ago
Delicious. Better than the Keller Feuervogel IMO and costs a third as much. — 3 years ago
Pear, apple, white flowers, petrichor...fruit forward with well balanced acidity...notes of citrus and minerality come through towards the finish. — 5 years ago
Honestly dunno much about silvaners, but me likey! Dry, just the right amount of crispy pomelo and Asian pear all riding a granite slab slicked with a little tiny bit of petrol. 10/10 would chug this — 5 years ago

Very exiting nose. Confectionery sugars, greens that are sweet, fiddlehead ferns, sugar snap peas, mineral and airy. Even a hint of saline. Palate is elegant, linear and focused. Juicy and clean. A bit simple. Nice but the J bottling of this is really a big step up. Nice length. Good. — 5 years ago
Almost 2 years since I’ve had this. What a wine. Gorgeous nose of herbal vegetables that are so so fresh. Dynamic mineralIty on the nose with also a hint of fat. Palate is elegant and mineral with wonderful juiciness and a haunting opulent yet undeniably fresh texture. Age has really helped this be fully expressive. Great balance and purity. — 6 years ago
Funky, saline, fairly light bodied, $50ish at Nolita wine store — 7 years ago
